BTW, that should have been hundreds _or_ thousands. I haven't been in  
a group with more than 10,000 tests.

I would hope that any implicit mixin would reference an overridable  
druntime function. Summarizing failures by pure count or by user- 
defined category is very common.

Bonus points for an implicit mixin that permits a variable argument  
count and curries unit test arguments to it. The biggest thing I'd  
want is a unit test name. An optional category name would be next on  
my wish list.
